This photo shot of the my Wife's side of the family can't get any easier - but with a twist. Instead of setting the timer and hitting the shutter release; I used the interval function on the D3s. This is a trick I learned from Scott Jarvie at www.jarviedigital.com where I set the camera to take a photo every 10 seconds for 6 photos. I hit the shutter - placed myself within the group and we had 6 photos to choose from -- pretty slick.
